This report as well an tho following
of the name committee to whom was
icferred a resolution Introduced April
4 by O. n. Carter, Instructing the com
mittee to Investigate and report on es
timate of the cost of a lire proof vault
rontalng' tho Probate proceedings and
records of tho Judiciary Committee,
was adopted.
We find that the construction of a
vault for the Judiciary Department was
recommended by a committee of the
Legislature of 1892, and an appropria
tion probably made at that time for the
same.
That an appropriation was made for
this vault In the Loan bill passed In
1898 by the Council of State, but that
the money borrowed under said Loan
bill has been about exhausted for The
sewerage system'and other Items In the
bill.
It U estimated by 'the Superinten
dent of Publlc,Work,that the, proposed
vault willost $2,000 and'un Item call
ing for this amount for tho vault his
be'nputin.ttio'Loan bill now. before
the Senate.

STORY
London, March 28. Tho Japaneso
cruiser Iwate, recently constructed nt
tho Elswtck works, left Dcvonport for
tho Far East early Tuesday morning.
Instead of departing next Saturday, as
was originally Intended. She shipped
her ammunition whllo sho was coaling

behind.
Judging from remarks made by her
officers, they seemed to anticipate n
conflict between Great Britain and
Russia, In which event they said the
Japanese and British fleets would co
operate. WON'T

AGUINALDO
( 'u.(
Mnnlla, March 28. General Freder
ick Funston's daring .project for tho
capture of Agulnaldo In his hiding
placo In the province of Isabella, Isl
and of Luzon, has proved completely
successful. Agulnaldo was captured
there on March 23d. Tho United States
gunboat Vlcksburg, Commander E. B.
Barry, with General Funaton and
Agulnaldo on board, arrived here this
morning.
New Yoi k, March 28. A cable to tho
Sun from Manila says: General Funs-
ton, with the assistance of a number of
Macabebcs, has captured Agulualdn In
the country nearCaslguran, nine miles
from Baler, on the northeast const of
the Island of Luzon. The rebel leader
and his entire staff are now la Manila.
General Funston employed n very clov
er ruse to reach Agulnaldo. Ills plan
worked successfully, with, the result
that tho he"a"d and front of the. Insurrec
tion Is now where lie v.ill do no more
harm to American Interests.
Recent dispatches from Manila told
of the departure of Ocnerat Funston on
what many believed was nn almost
hopeless expedition. The tcry nudn
city of General Fitnston's plan, how
ever, was su6h that those who knew
him Intimately had faith that he would
Mnmnll.l. tr.. b.kU.t ft it
.', J , , , . " ,
ago letters were raptured by Amerl -
cans showing beyond peradventure that
the rebel leader was hiding In tho
northeastern part of the Island. Gen
eral Funston Immediately conceived
his bold plan to capture him, which re
ceived General MacArthur's approval.
Two weeks ago he started from Manila
with Surgeon Major Harris, Captain
Newton of the 34th Infantry, .J.IeuL
Admire of the 22d Infantry, Lieut
Mitchell of the 10th Infantry, six vete
ran Americans nnd a number of native
scouts, nil of whom wero selected for
their bravery and extensive knowledge
of the country.
Genernl Funston's plan was that af
ter ho and his party landed ns near ns
posslbto to the place where Agulnaldo j
was thought to bo In biding natlvo
scouts were to paFs themselves oft ns
Insurgents, who, having captured Gen
eral Funston and other Americans,
were conveying them to Agulnaldo.
When the supposed prisoners wero
brought by .their alleged captors before
Agulnaldo they were to suddenly ap
pear In their true character, seize the
wily Filipino and make their way back
to tho
coast, where the gunboat Vlcks-1
burg,
which ,had conveyed the party,
was to await their return. It will
readily bo seen that tho adventure was
desperate one, as treachery was al
ways possible, and General Funston
had no absolute means of knowing how
many men Agulnaldo had with him. It
wur posslblo that he would have
enough to overwhelm tho Americans
nnd their native nllfesfrhut this did not
dotcr them. They accepted tho risk,
with tho result that Agulnaldo Is now
safe In the hands of the American mili
tary authorities in Manila.

Macabebcs opened fire, but their aim
